Festive Eats At DusitThis Kadayawan Season

dusitD2’s Madayaw Café showcases the authentic cuisines of the tribes in Davao region in indulgent assisted buffet spreads this August.

 

Food is always a good idea. 

With all stringent measures in place and the conscious implementation of new normal guidelines, dusitD2’s Madayaw Café still aspires to make Kadayawan season a good experience by dedicating a menu to the local tribes of Davao region.

“The festival should highlight the tribes and their culture, and that’s what we have strived to achieve and share to our guests. We might not be able to celebrate fully, so we try to give celebratory indulgence through our offers,” says Chef Alex Destriza.
